A piezoelectric smart backing ring for high-performance power generation subject to train induced steel-spring fulcrum forces

Jianjun Wang et al.

Summary: Long-term monitoring of the vertical displacement and service status of steel springs is crucial for ensuring railway operational safety. To address the challenge of powering the monitoring system, a piezoelectric smart backing ring is designed to harvest kinetic energy induced by the fulcrum force in steel-spring isolators. Experimental and theoretical evaluations demonstrate the energy harvesting performance of the fabricated prototype, providing insights into key factors affecting its performance. Results indicate that the prototype can achieve a maximum average power of up to 500 mW, with the potential to reach 1 W by optimizing the design. The prototype can harvest approximately 12.74 J of energy per day from the steel-spring fulcrum force induced by passing trains, showcasing its potential for railway health monitoring applications.
